“A wise man ought always to follow the paths beaten by great men, and to imitate those who have been supreme, so that if his ability does not equal theirs, at least it will savor of it. Let him act like the clever archers who, designing to hit the mark which yet appears too far distant, and knowing the limits to which the strength of their bow attains, take aim much higher than the mark, not to reach by their strength or arrow to so great a height, but to be able with the aid of so high an aim to hit the mark they wish to reach.” IfsMenDoeHas BeensWisdomAbleHopeWishAbilityKnowledgeKnowingPathWiseStrengthDesignOughtHigherLimitsEqualMarkAimExcellenceEqualityAidsSupremeCleverHeightGreat MenBowsBeatenArrowsArcher Book:The Prince Source: The Prince
“A new year is upon us, with new duties, new conflicts, new trials, and new opportunities. Start on the journey with Jesus--to walk with Him, to work for Him, and to win souls to Him. The last year of the century, it may be the last of our lives! A happy year will it be to those who, through every path of trial, or up every hill of difficulty, or over every sunny height,, march on in closest fellowship with Jesus, and who will determine that, come what may, they have Christ every day.” YearsMaySoulLastsOpportunityJesusWinningChristWalksPathOur LivesJourneyCenturyDutyConflictDifficultyDetermineTrialsHillsHeightMarchNew YearLast YearClosestFellowshipSunnyNew Opportunity Author:Theodore L.

“Things happen along the way in our path. Instead of looking at it as a wall that's being put up in front of us, look at it as as opportunity to scale new heights and to climb that wall - to see and do things you didn't think you were capable of.” ThinkingWayLooksHappensOpportunityPathFrontsWallCapableScalesThings HappenHeightClimbs Author:Robin Roberts
“The path of the seeker is full of pitfalls and temptations, and the seeker must walk it alone with God. I would recommend that you keep your feet on the ground and your thoughts at lofty heights, so that you may attract only good. Concentrate on giving so that you may open yourself to receiving; concentrate on living according to the light you have so that you may open yourself to more light; get as much light as possible through the inner way.” WayGivingMayLightWalksPathFeetTemptationHeightReceivingSeekersLoftyPitfallsFeet On The GroundAlone With God Book:Peace Pilgrim: Her Life and Work in Her Own Words Source: Peace Pilgrim: Her Life and Work in Her Own Words
“I honor the sanctity of all religions - I'm not here to put them down. But the only religion that I personally embrace is the religion of kindness. There are many paths to God. What really bothers me - and what I think is the height of arrogance and stupidity - is when one group believes their way is the only way. That really gets my dander up.” ThinkingWayBelieveKindnessPathGroupsHonorEmbraceStupidityBotherHeightArroganceSanctityMany Paths Author:Leslie Jordan
